Week In Review

Hi Friends!
I am happy it's Friday...well not really. I'll explain.
This week has been one of a kind for me...
I don't think I've mentioned here, but I've been staying at my grandmothers house since I found out that there is internet here (which was Monday). So, Tuesday after visiting Lesya who was in a car crash, I went to my grandmother's to do homework since she is visiting my aunt in Carolina. Well, let me say I LOVE my big family, but with that comes a " chaotic happy, and often loud" environment, not to mention the constant occasional visitors we always seem to have. I love when my cousins come over, but when you've been in school all day, you don't want to come home to a mess the sibling and cousins created in your room, and be distracted from doing school work. Well, let me tell you, I came here at around 7 pm Tuesday and did work till about midnight. It was so easy to concentrate! Wednesday afternoon when I got here, same thing, I made myself food, then sat down to do my project. I guess I'm just not used to this at all because you come here and do what you want to do, without anyone interfering.

It's Family. You're just born to LOVE them. No matter the size!

Now I have a glimpse into what it's like growing in a small family, or living on your own. Let me tell you, it is completely different! But, I wouldn't trade my family, and family life right now, for the world. God put me in my family for a reason. I've learned that not everyone can handle growing up the way I grew up, because if you're used to "this life" (as described here in my grandmothers house), I don't know that you would change it :) you would not want to change it. You're just not accustomed to it. But, those of us growing up in big families are used to "that life" so same goes for us, we wouldn't want to change it :)

Today, after coming to grandma's house I decided to give myself a break before studying...it has been 4 hours and that break is still going on I decided I'd watch a show. At first I saw the Happy Endings show, but I knew I probably should not waste my time watching it. I knew I would feel empty after watching it, if you know what I mean. So, I discovered this Secret Millionaire show. I watched the latest episode, and just burst out crying! Watching people with so little, and then seeing someone helping them, just touched my heart. I recommend you watch an episode or two. I always told God, if you bless me financially in the future, you bet I will give back. There is no greater joy than to give, and bless others with what GOD, not you, has given you!
Well that was not the only time I burst out crying. Thursday, after my post, I finished my project (a case study) and was getting ready for school, and yep started crying. I was just so overwhelmed with school that I cried. It's funny, ever since the second semester, there is always one time that I cry. Well, this semester I thought that wouldn't happen, but on the day before classes end, it happened.
That same day, my lab partner told me he had cancer. I was shocked, and could not work the rest of the lab period. Please keep him in your prayers. He is such a nice kid that doens't deserve to go through what he has to.
The reason I am not so happy it's Friday is because it's game time. Studying time. It's time to finish off the semester by getting perfect great exam scores!
Blessings,
Lesya
